Jesy Nelson has confirmed the birth of her twins with partner Zion Foster in an emotional Instagram post.
The former Little Mix star had been in hospital since late March after being diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) – a rare condition that can put one or both babies at risk.
But she confirmed both babies were safe and well after taking to social media on Sunday to announce their arrival – three days after giving birth.
She wrote: ‘So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus 5 days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We’ve never felt more in love.
‘Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.’
Nelson, 34, accompanied the post with her first photos of the twins being cradled by herself and partner Zion.

In March, she had to undergo an emergency procedure due to complications and was been advised to remain in hospital until she reaches a certain number of weeks in her pregnancy.
The singer was seven months along into her pregnancy, with medics ideally wanting her to reach at least 32 weeks before the babies were born.
Throughout the worrying ordeal, Zion admitted he and Jesy had ‘grown to understand each other on a deeper level’.
He told OK!: ‘I think it’s at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means. And I think for me and Jess, this has just taken it to a whole other level of us knowing we are literally made for each other.’
He said the couple had also tried to make the hospital as much of a home as possible.
‘There’s a couch that turns into a bed that we pushed next to the hospital bed, so we’ve made our own double bed.
‘And it’s like we’ve moved in. The nurses just said, “Oh, my God. It looks so nice in here. It looks so homely”.’
Nelson recently shared an Instagram tribute from her hospital bed after Zion completed the London Marathon.

She wrote: ‘I feel so emotional this morning knowing my baby is running the marathon for our babies and for @twinstrust. @zionfoster my heart feels so proud of you, you got this my angel’.
The singer, who watched the marathon on TV from her private room, shared a snap of a beaming Zion as he crossed the finish line after just four weeks of training following the gruelling 26.2 mile run.
Revealing how she’d never be able to express how proud she was of him, Nelson added: ‘I honestly didn’t think I could love you any more than I already do @zionfoster but you have made me and our babies the proudest!!!!’
‘You had under 4 weeks to train for the London marathon and you have worked your absolute bum off to be able to cross that finish line today whilst raising money for an amazing cause @twinstrust and for our babies, words will never be enough to let you know how proud I am of you.
‘The most amazing human and daddy we love you baby you smashed the London Marathon!!!!’
An exhausted Zion replied: ‘Can’t believe I actually completed it… LOVE YOU’
Ahead of the race, Nelson said he was running ‘for our babies’ and the raise funds for the Twins Trust charity which supports parents of multiples as well as improving maternity care and research.
